This student didn't know if she was coming or going. She rarely had her homework and hardly ever returned things to school that needed to be brought back. This was not the child's fault. It was the fault of the parents because of a lack of communication. How do you handle a situation such as this? Do you punish the child for not being prepared and not returning things back to school signed? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) This is not at all on the student. I would call a parent teacher meeting into place. I would have both parents present and stress the importance of the student education and how they are ruining it. Hopefully that would work.
